Incoming Call Handling
When an incoming call is received, the Call Details panel is outlined in red and displays the information about the caller. If, in the SoftConsole directory, a script file is associated with the incoming caller's number, the script is shown in the right call panel.

When a call is answered the caller information is shown in green.

Start typing the name or number that the caller requires into the SEARCH box (after answering a call the cursor is placed in the box automatically).
